The Apache documentation plainly recommends AGAINST using .htaccess because of the severe performance hit it entails. Every request causes Apache to re-read the directory's .htaccess file and those files in each parent directory to determine permissions. If you've got a machine that only one person administers (or where everyone has sudo permissions), I agree with their recommendation. But, if you've got each user with access to their own web space and each one wants freedom to set up those permissions on the fly, then you'll need .htaccess to be working.
